Mary went out at night.She never forgot the night when she met a robber many years ago.

  That evening, she was invited to a birthday party which lasted until two o'clock in the morning.Without company Mary walked along the quiet street.

  Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her“Good evening, lady,”the man said in a low voice,“I don't think you wish to die here.”

  “What do you want?”Mary asked.

  “Your earrings(耳環(huán)).Take them off!”slowly Mary's eyes looked down.She tried to cover her necklace with the collar(領(lǐng)子)of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings, and then she quickly threw them on the ground.

  “Take them and let me go.”she said.The robber looked at her only feeling uncertain.He saw the girl didn't care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace.He realized the necklace would cost more.So he said.“Give me your necklace.”

  “Oh, sir.It's not worth much.Please let me keep it.”

  “Stopping rubbish.Quick!”

  With shaky hands, Mary took off her necklace.As soon as the robber disappeared, she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to one of her friends.

  The earrings cost 480 pounds and the necklace the robber had taken away cost only six pounds ten shillings.

   The old man walked with a cane(拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched (打補丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that were bright like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips held in a smile.

He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair.”

Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying(穩(wěn)住) him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it.

In a soft, clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss.”

“You are welcome, Sir.” She replied. “My name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me!”

After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemon tea, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir!”

He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “You are very kind!”

When Mary went to clean his table, she was surprised. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a $100 bill.

The note on the napkin read, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.”

The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she, or any of his employees, had seen him in person(親自).

71. The relationship between the old man and Mary was ______. 

A. father and daughter                B. employer and employee

C. waiter and customer                         D. uncle and nephew

72. Based on the passage, all of the following words can be used to describe Mary except _____.

A. kind       B. considerate       C. helpful       D. calm

73. Mary ran over to the old man because _______.

A. the old man was the boss of the restaurant

B. she saw the old man had some difficulty moving and taking a seat

C. she was worried that the old man might cause trouble to the restaurant

D. the old man had asked her to wait on him

74. The man came to the restaurant _______.

A. to have breakfast

B. to see his employees

C. to find out how his restaurant was working

D. to see how Mary served customers

75. The words the man left on the napkin indicated that _______.

A. respecting others means respecting oneself

B. serving others is a respectable job

C. Mary would get a rise as a result of her kindness

D. Mary’s kind service would bring in more money for her
